Ola Aina scored for Nottingham Forest yesterday and he’s received praise from past and present teammates. The 27-year-old scored his first goal for the club during a 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

Forest player Aina scored a wonderfully well-taken goal in the sixth minute of the clash. After Harry Toffolo had put the ball into a good area, the Nigeria international ran onto it and planted his effort beyond Emi Martinez.

Forest needed a win to stop a run of six winless outings in the Premier League. Aina’s goal was followed in the second half by a strike by Orel Mangala in the 47th minute, with the Reds seeing the game out.

Aina earns praise on Instagram after Forest win

It’s quite intriguing that Aina has received some praise from teammates of old and they’ve had some fun with the Forest man.

Fulham pair Alex Iwobi and Tosin Adarabioyo were the two players to comment on his Instagram post.

Iwobi said: “Don’t Shoot, Sorry My Bad!!!”, in a seeming dig towards the defender not scoring many goals. In truth, he’s probably got a point!

Adarabioyo was next to weigh in with a comment. He said: “Only bangers in the Premier init?!”, with the centre-back playing alongside Aina during his loan at Fulham previously.

Several Forest stars also reacted to Aina scoring, with Callum Hudson-Odoi summing the strike up perfectly. He put the flame emoji alongside the word, ‘Luluuuuuu’, which appears to be a nickname for Aina.

Forest defender could star under Cooper

Aina is now getting a proper crack of the whip under Cooper in the Premier League. The talented defender has already showcased his quality during the current campaign and he can play on both sides of the defensive unit.

Forest paid big money to sign lots of players in the summer. However, in terms of being savvy, the club haven’t really signed any better than Aina on a free transfer.

The challenge for Aina is to maintain his position as a regular in the Forest team. On current form, there is absolutely no danger of him losing his place any time soon.
